Courtesy of Mike I have been handed the musical baton Before I kick into the nitty-gritty and deliciously soft center of this meme though, I'd like to take a minute to speculate why this music related meme caught on in the circle of blogs that I read regularly. My first guess is that most of us are mac users, my second guess is, more than 70% of us have found a way to put our iTunes playlists up on the internet for the rest of the world to browse. Or, maybe we just like tormenting each other. I'm leaning more towards the second option. In any case, there's a lot to be said about the music on my computer.
Total volume of music files on my computer: For better or for worse, a Get Info tells me I have 17.88 GB of music in my folder. I had just finished cleaning out a lot of J-Pop that I don't listen to. It used to be somewhere around 24 GB. I can't say I miss the music I don't have though.
The Last CD I Bought: Maroon 5's Songs about Jane". After leaving a few weeks ago to "see Maroon 5 in concert I found myself singing their songs non-stop in my head. Thanks to Fry's Electronics, only $12.00 USD later I had their CD. With it, I also bough NIN [With_Teeth", but I felt the M5 was probably the more significant of the two.
Playing Right Now: Actually, iTunes is silent at the moment, although I could always fire it up... and we'll leave it to random. Today's tasty treat is "Put on Fresh Sex" by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra off of their album "High Numbers(Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra Discography)](http://www.projectj.net/skaparaalbums.htm.) There's usually enough noise around me that I don't constantly need music going. Although, late at night I have no qualms about turning it up so everyone can hear it. (Thank you Klipsh, your speaker power is awesome.)
